Also every time, after about a week, it just got to a point where I would secretly wish for something else to come up so I wouldnt have to go to the gym. 

In my opinion, if you still have this mentality, you shouldn't start training again. It would be a waste of time. If you don't, then welcome.

adarqui said that he had disc, back injuries from deadlifting years ago... he had those lightning bolts too...




You did? So you had the same problem as I have now? What did you do to solve it?

yup, had shooting pains down my leg from horrible form deadlifts, before i knew anything about proper training/while i was in computer science, could barely walk, lasted about 3 months, thats why i got obsessed with exercise science, to fix myself.

i did tons of prone superman's and then eventually progressed to 45 degree hypers, thats how i fixed my back.. took months.

So what exactly would you recommend? Supermans? I mean, if it's a discus problem... what's the path to take to recovery?

PS - New court looks really sleek.

The Weis and the other dunk did look a lot different.

If I plant RL, i thought rotating towards the right (clockwise), would make more sense, but in these examples, the jumpers rotate the opposite way of the plant leg. Kind of like doing a 1,2 punch combo in boxing, you rotate one way (the coil), then uncoil with the 2.

Huh? You mean in a RL plant he actually rotates counterclockwise? You realize that's impossible don't you?

What's your vert right now? You could probably focus more on reactive stuff since you were complaining that your jumping was sucky a few days ago...

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Back injury training
« on: August 19, 2011, 01:08:17 pm »
With my back injury, what do you guys suggest I should limit myself on? I have no idea if it's a spine problem (it appears it is) or a muscle one, but still - I have to stop squatting and deadlifting AT LEAST for a while.

Would dumbbell BSSs be cool? Or would that be too much of a load if it's a disc problem in the spine? What about bodyweight pistol squats? King deadlifts? Calf raises? What about jumping in itself?

So you see - I have multiple things to worry about. What about upperbody stuff like overhead presses? These will put pressure on the spine as well. What about dumbbell raises for the shoulders? And so on and so forth. What should I limit myself to? How about planks?

Well age for one. Secondly, bad nutrition (he doesn't give too much attention to nutrition from his current bodyfat%). And thirdly, Vince was never (with the exception of his youth (up to 26 years old)) a strength gym guy. He used to train with an NFL friend in 2000, I guess that explained a lot at that time.

He worked with the Magic trainers this past year to get his SVJ up to 31 inches, and squatted and did lunges (no idea of the weights used).

Also, with the bone/cartilage degeneration and injuries and age, you get "less playful" and jump less than in the past which diminishes your reactive/elastic abilities.
